A FIRE which caused £25,000 worth of damage and destroyed two coaches last week could not keep the biggest tour operator in. Grangemouth off the road. For even though Fitzcharles Ltd is still in the middle of clearing up operations it has ' promised it will be business as usual.
One of the owners of the firm, Mr George Fitzcharles, said: "When the alarm was raised we tried to get as many of the coaches out of the garage as possible. We man aged to drive two away leaving three inside. It eventually got too dangerous to try to save the rest.
"Our oldest and our newest coach which was only bought a year ago were destroyed. We think it will cost about £25,000 to make up for the damage. The new coach itself will cost about £17,000 to replace.
We have seven coaches altogether and even with two destroyed it will still be business as usual. We will honour all our commitments."
